New Scutum construction page

[Anonymous]

Last night I added a page on constructing legionary scuta to the legio XXX web page. Go to:<br>

<br>
I've attempted to describe what we know concerning the legionary shields of the early principate and how this translates into a reconstruction. <p></p><i></i>

You're welcome. The scutum construction page will soon be updated. Robert Norton has voluntered to make some line drawings of the assembly process. There is also a bunch of things that I forgot to mention. <p></p><i></i>

yeah dude, tell me about it. It is actually pretty challenging to write directions well and thoroughly enough to be followable, and there's always stuff in your head that does't translate to the written word easily. Almost every time I look thorugh one of my pages I find something to fix/clarify/update/generally make better.<br>
Anyway, I've always enjoyed your various pages and commend the effort.<br>

Hey Lee,<br>
<br>
I have (I think, somewhere) a 2.5 page instruction guide for putting the scutum together. It's been tried and tested. Do you want me to send it to you so you can cross reference it and add in any other tidbits? <p>Magnus/Matt<br>
